"I expect January is going to be a tough month for not just air travel but the entire country," said Brett Snyder, president of Cranky Concierge travel assistance and a former airline employee."Even if the cases are mostly mild, especially for the vaccinated, that still requires people to stay away from work for a period of time, and that will disrupt flights if enough crewmembers get sick at any given time.
